Related to raising minimum wages - why is the purchasing power of our current wages always falling?

If the purchasing power of $10 was constant over ten years, minimum wage would not need to go up. If the purchasing power of $10 went UP over ten years, that would be good for the poorest among us, yes?

Deflation is not good for an economy or poor people either
